The Ohio University Career and Leadership Development Center offers an Industry Panel on Creative Jobs on Thursday, March 8, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in Baker 533.
“Most majors can find opportunities across industries. From communications roles within healthcare to computer engineering in e-commerce and retail, your major can be applied to a broad spectrum of industries. During the March Industry Panel, learn from creative professionals about how they built their careers in the arts,” says Erika Peyton of the CLDC.
